How about a VX-3 4.5-14x40AO with the eye relief characteristics of the 3.5-10x40?

I forgot to add "with at least a heavy duplex" for the same cost as a standard".

FX3 in 4x, HD or such and the 1.5-6x36-42, is a good idea....#4, even # 1, tapered posts, etc.

A 1" tube VX-6 4-24X no more than 18 ounces. I'd settle for a 30mm version with an illuminated TMOA reticle. 18oz might be asking a bit much, but then again with a slimmer tube it might be possible. 20-21oz wouldn't hurt my feelings. Most of all, an across the board price drop would be nice !

I'd like to see them bring back the short version of the 1.75-6x, even as a custom shop offering. Don't want them to drop the long tube version, just want the option of the short one that looks so good on Contender Carbines and such. Also, wish they would bring back gloss finish as an option across the board, rather than just specific models. While we're at it, offer more options in silver, particularly the low power variables and fixed powers. I know, I'm dreaming....

I would like a 6X40 and 10X40 that with a 30mm tube, M1's, and readily available in either an MOA/MOA configuration as well as a MIL/MIL configuration.
Keep them priced around $400.00.
Travis Exactly what I would like as well.

Travis Exactly what I would like as well. Yep! I'd like to put M5s on a fixed power. A redo on the windplex to match the turrets wouldn't suck either.

A 6x36 or 6x42 with a simple illuminated dot like in the VXR series with the LR duplex. I don't want a whole row of illuminated dots just one. A second choice would be the same as above but a duplex and a turret.

Weaver offered a fixed 4.75x40, with great coatings (Grand Slam) and even working adjustments. Eye relief is adequate (~ 3,5"). Discontinued it, because they just could not keep up with demand... I have mine.

I'd be happy if they brought back 6x42 Alumina flips for my current scopes....and a fixed FX3 10x would be cool.

Duplicate the optics of the 1.8-5.5x38 Conquest, but 6 oz. lighter.

Exact copy of the SWFA SS 3-9 Mil-quad with a low capped windage turret.
I wish SWFA would make one too.

A fixed 10x42 with a choice of either Mil-dot -Mil Quad type or Duplex .
With Lower profile turrets than the SWFA ,brighter than the SWFA for easier use in the woods if needed .
Weighs about 12 ounces
Sells new for less than $300.00
Well you did ask !!
Also start using twin and better quality springs for the erector adjustments.
On every scope they make. This. Of course, a 6x42 with the same mil reticle options (no, the Custom Shop will not put them on the 6x42) would pretty much kick ass as well.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

A "duplex" reticle that was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, just like a Zeiss Diavari-C.
Alumina caps for the 6x42.
The 4x33 and 6x36 in an upgraded FX3 configuration.
